18.04 of ubuntu? that's a keeper mainly because it is LTS (Long Term Support) 
and you get 5 years of updates... 18.10 is not LTS and you have to update from 
it faster as newer ones are released... i forget the support term on non-LTS 
releases, though...

we've been using kubuntu here because the KDE interface is pretty similar to 
winwhatever and folks trying it out find it more comfortable and familiar... my 
84yo (R.I.P.) father had no problems at all with kubuntu 14.04 when trying it 
before moving away from Vista... the move from Vista was due to what turned out 
to be really cruddy video drivers for the ATI video card that came with the 
machine... still had similar problems with it and kubuntu but we sussed that 
muckitymuck when we swapped out that card for NVIDIA...
